Cougars pick up a first down on their first play, then get -1 on their next three. Linehan on to punt.
— Jay Drew (@drewjay) October 17, 2015
Mangum had time on that one … not his best decision with the double coverage.
— Jared Lloyd (@JaredrLloyd) October 17, 2015
Mangum looks much less than 100 percent
— Matt Opper (@M_Opper) October 17, 2015
Oh that's a throw you've gotta make.

Cincy up 10-0 after a 15-play, 92-yard touchdown drive. Bearcats score on 4th-and-1 with a nifty jump pass out of Wildcat formation.

Cincinnati's offense as good as advertised, and the freshman Moore has been on the money for the most part. Cougars' D better find something

Jump pass!!!

Mathews couldn't haul it in on the sideline, Houk couldn't bring in the pass that was slightly behind him. WRs not helping Mangum.

And somehow, Hayden Moore has been sacked 4 times.— Tom Groeschen (@TomGroeschen) October 17, 2015
58yrds? I've seen @Agantz16 make a drop kick farther than that.
— Michael (@ThatGuyMC) October 17, 2015
BYU blocks the 58-yard FG attempt, takes over at midfield.
— Jay Drew (@drewjay) October 17, 2015
Stupid decision by Cinci … now BYU has some momentum off the blocked kick, which had to come out really low.
— Jared Lloyd (@JaredrLloyd) October 17, 2015
Punt block credited to Bronson Kaufusi, his second in as many games #BYUFootball
— BYU Game Notes (@BYUGameNotes) October 17, 2015
Great effort on that pass break up by Tyrell Gilbert. Came from the right hash to the sideline after the ball was thrown.
— Cincinnati Bearcats (@GoBEARCATS) October 17, 2015
Mangum overthrows Mathews in the end zone, Cougars have to settle for a FG; Cincy 10, BYU 3 with 13:20 left 2Q.

Cinci PI has been one of BYU's best plays so far tonight
— Jared Lloyd (@JaredrLloyd) October 17, 2015
I think that was the exact same run Cinci called at the other with the same result for Alge Brown. Very nice offensive drive.
— Jared Lloyd (@JaredrLloyd) October 17, 2015
BYU cuts deficit to 17-10 with a 5-play, 76-yard TD drive. Algie Brown's fifth TD in two games comes on a 5-yard run.

Half: #UC leads 17-10.#Bearcats have run 51 plays, BYU 24. Lead 262-166 in total yards.
Several missed opportunities.— Tom Groeschen (@TomGroeschen) October 17, 2015
Disappointed Mangum missed that throw to Mathews. Could be tied. But — don't dislike the position. BYU gets the ball.
— Vanquish The Foe (@VanquishTheFoe) October 17, 2015
Since 2007, Cincy is 66-4 (94.3%) when leading at halftime; in the Bronco era, BYU is 15-27 (35.7%) when trailing at the break.

TOUCHDOWN

That's flat out awful. 2 angles showing it was a clear TD. Why does replay exist?

QB Hayden Moore back into positive yards rushing after that 19-yard keeper. First-and-goal for the #Bearcats from the 2-yard line.
— Cincinnati Bearcats (@GoBEARCATS) October 17, 2015
Cincy regains the lead with an 8-play, 64-yard TD drive; Tion Green's 3-yard TD run makes it 24-17 with 3:28 remaining 3Q.

Big catch by Mitch Mathews called back by a chop block.

End of the 3rd quarter in Provo. #Bearcats leading 24-17. UC winning the yardage battle 348-290 and time of possession 27:06-17:54.

BYU miscues: 9 penalties for 69 yards (several of which have negated big gains); 7 dropped passes. Tough to beat good team playing that way.
